TE Elijah Arroyo, SEA (1 Viewer)

Payer profiler comps him to Ebron, but I think of Darren Waller when I watch his video.

I'm currently deciding between Arroyo and Terrance Ferguson for my dynasty TE3. Thoughts?

I am no expert but prefer Arroyo. Part of that is me still being in shock that the Rams took Ferguson over Will Johnson (who is now listed as a starter in AZ. That point aside, I just feel like Arroyo has more upside (and probably more downside as well with his injury history).

I lean Arroyo over Ferguson because the Seahawks had Fant and an improving Barner but went to get this guy. they wanted him for a reason.

any observations from the pre-season game?

Arroyo looked like an undersized rookie on his run blocking reps. It's looking like AJ Barner szn for 2025.

I'm not sure the plan was for Arroyo to play in-line....need to research this.

Impeccable timing on this. I am up next in my rookie draft. I was on the fence with the last pick of the 3rd between Arroyo and Teslaa. I was leaning towards Teslaa as a dart throw in dynasty, but all rankings were saying Arroyo. I felt like I was missing something. Not saying that Arroyo can’t or won’t develop, but I already have McBride. Arroyo seems like he will end up being a streamer type TE to me. Teslaa seems like he has a higher ceiling in dynasty. Teslaa it is!

That's an interesting pick; not going to advise who you should pick but it seemed Teslaa had a rough start the pre-season game before catching the TD, and Det has so many mouths to feed that its going to take some patience before he sees real NFL time. Arroyo on all accounts had positive camp reviews while the team showed faith in him by releasing their starting pass catching TE. Looking at the depth charts Seahawks are going to need him out there; however Arroyo is a terrible blocker so until he improves that there is no hope of seeing full-time starting snaps. I'm grabbing Arroyo mostly because he'll get a crack at playing time now and we will knoe very early if he has it or not

Likewise, I am not dying on the hill that my pick is the correct one. It could go the other way. Hell…both could boom or both could bust. WR depth is more important to me (start up to 4 in a 14 team league), so hitting on a lottery ticket WR would be great. From what I have read, there were a lot of teams that were interested in moving up for Teslaa and they do much more research than this couch cushion coach.

Both are likely wait and see guys no matter what.

Jokes on me. He was still there at 4.14 so I took him.
